    Brand and model of router? Operating System(s) and service pack levels (if applicable) on both computers? How does each computer connect to the router? For each computer, if Windows, please show ...

    Start, Run, CMD, OK to open a command prompt:

    Type the following command:

    IPCONFIG /ALL

    Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
    Paste the results in a message here.

    If necessary use a text file and removable media to copy the results to a computer with internet access.

    If you can get data from the laptop to the desktop you can try this automated WINSOCK fix: http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html

    And if it still doesn't work take a picture or two of the ipconfig /all if you have a digital camera. Or, start typing. :)

    Strange--they both have the same IP address even though they both have dynamic configurations. The following usually fixes such problems.

    Shut down all computers. Unplug router for a minute. Plug in router. Boot computers. Look at the ipconfig on each and see if they now have different addresses. They should, and hopefully your desktop will be back online.

    Still same IP address on both computers? Really strange!

    Login to the router and look at the Dhcp client list. One or both computers there? Or more? What address(es) does it say?

    Next step to try and make the router wake up and behave is to reset it to factory default settings, then do whatever reconfiguring is needed.

    Check your router's User Manual for how to find the Dhcp client list. If you don't still have it download it from D-Link's web site, Support section.

    Whether or not your PC was working connected to the modem, I still don't understand why both PCs are getting the same IP address from the router.

    On the non-working PC open a Command Window and try

    ping 192.168.0.1
    ping 216.109.112.135
    ping yahoo.com

    For each did you get Replies or all packets lost (or name not found)?
